Olfactory-auditory sensory integration in the olfactory tubercle. Bar graphs of average stimulus evoked responses across 17 units in response to tone (left), odor (middle, see methods for odor) and simultaneous tone and odor presentations (right column).hus, both accessory and main olfactory systems converge in the olfactory tubercleâpresenting this structure as a âmixedâ olfactory cortex (Martinez-Marcos, 2009). These anatomical points highlight the likely role of the tubercle in the processing of odors.
Precancerous condition. A precancerous condition or premalignant condition, sometimes called a potentially precancerous condition or potentially premalignant condition, is a state of disordered morphology of cells that is associated with an increased risk of cancer. If left untreated, these conditions may lead to cancer.
Individuals with two HNPCC-related cancers â including synchronous (two or more tumours are present at the same time) and metachronous (first tumour is followed by a second one at a later date) cancers â or associated extracolonic cancers, or individuals with colorectal cancer and a first-degree relative with colorectal cancer and/or HNPCC-related extracolonic cancer and/or colorectal adenoma are considered to fulfill the Bethesda criteria.
